In 2024, take your garage from a dull, outdated storage room into your dream space. Discover the best garage flooring options to revamp your favorite room in the home.
The floor is the foundation of your whole garage, and choosing your garage floor covering is a big decision. Our guide will walk you through the best flooring options for your garage, so you can pick something functional, eye-catching, and stylish for years to come.
How to Choose the Best Garage Flooring
Every garage requires different needs, so consider all your flooring options before purchasing. We recommend looking out for the three main features of durability, look, and cost.
Garage Flooring Considerations
- Cost: Regardless of your budget, there is a garage flooring option for you. You can cover a two-car garage for approximately $400 to $6,000+.
- Durability: You need a floor that will stay sharp and intact from everyday abuse as well as household and vehicle chemicals. If you intend on having substantial rolling weight, look for benefits such as commercial-grade and car-jack approved.
- Style: Most garage flooring options offer diamond, coin, smooth, or vented patterns. If you choose interlocking tiles, you can do all sorts of fun patterns.
Other Things to Look Out For
- Maintenance: You should weigh the pros and cons of products for their ease of maintenance and if they require any special cleaners, tricks, etc.
- Installation: Today, most garage flooring is DIY-friendly. We recommend going with our garage floor tiles for a solo project as they are the most lightweight. While garage flooring rolls are equally easy to install, they are harder to maneuver alone, so having a couple of helping hands will get the job done smoother.
